City get about 11% ((100/120)*0.9*0.585*0.25) of every ticket they sell for the semi, but keep 83.33% (100/120 VAT reduced only) of the home UEFA games.People with limited financies might prefer to go to a FA Cup semi than line the pockets of an organisation that hates us?
Like it or not there is a large minority of our support who place the priority of European games below domestic competitions. Of which I am one.
If there was a choice between which games I would rather win, then I would choose beating Liverpool twice and exiting the ‘Champions’ League every time. I doubt I am alone.
